How to manage workers: performance & discipline

Evaluating the performance of employees in today's changing workplace is becoming increasingly complex. For employers of any size, effective performance evaluations are vital. Additionally, many employers have issued handbooks and manuals containing employment rules designed, in part, to promote a productive, safe and healthy working environment. Nevertheless, some employees violate the rules. Join us for this one hour session as we discuss the basics of a sound performance evaluation process and ways to implement proper disciplinary procedures, including:

• 3 steps to perfect performance evaluation
• Preparing for the interview/conducing the evaluation
• Legal considerations and consequences
• Setting realistic and fair rules
• Knowing when and how to take action/investigating misconduct
• Documentation and follow-up
• The “hot stove” rule
